<p>As a pre-qualification activity in the procurement process, potential contractors
tendering for contracts with the House Service are asked to confirm whether they have
breached labour law obligations, including the Employment Relations Act 1999 (Blacklists)
Regulations 2010 and the Modern Slavery Act 2015, in the previous three years. Where
this turns out to be the case, they are asked to explain what measures have been taken
and provide evidence as appropriate to demonstrate the reliability of the organisation
despite the existence of a relevant ground for exclusion. If the response is not satisfactory,
the House Service has the right to exclude the organisation from the tendering process
at its discretion.</p>
